Touche Provokers are people who use the sport of fencing to provoke a response from their opponents. The term is derived from the French word 'touche, ' which means 'TOUCH.' Epees are one of the three weapons used in fencing, and they are characterized by having a triangular cross-section and a large bell guard. They are the heaviest of the three weapons, and are used to score points by touching an opponent's target area.
